In the 3 years I had my 08 CU2 Auto the average over 40,000km was 7.1, best recorded was 6.23. It will be interesting to see how the MY12 compares over time. I mostly used Vortex 95.

average 8.3-8.4L per 100Km. Mixed driving, mixed road. CL9

I got 500K's (2003 manual luxury, done about 128,000kms) before the light came on, mostly urban driving using Caltex Vortex 95, with the occasional heavy foot on the pedal, but most of the time changing at about 3500 for the early gears and about 2500-3000 for the higher gears.
so out of 55 liters I got 500k's = 11L/100kms..... not bad, I'm gonna try BP ultimate next, shifting no higher then 3000 and hope to get 600k's before the fuel light comes on!
Wow, i got the same car, driving harder compare to you (sounds to me anyway), and i get 630 before the light comes on... Why such a huge difference? hmm

Hey Guys, first post for me - just recently bought a 2006 Accord Euro CL9 with 97,000km on the clock. bought from a dealer with new tyres.
so far so good for fuel economy - better than i expected.
1. First Full fillup was Caltex Vortex 95 and got 640km when the reserve light comes on - then filled up, average 7.2lt/100km 70% Freeway 30% Urban
2. filled BP ultimate - improved economy again down to 6.8lt/100km so far with 540km and gauge is saying there is a little more than 1/3 of a tank left. so far so good! again same ratio freeway/urban.
on 1 run Monash Freeway and Eastlink - about 30km distance i managed to have it down to 5.2lt/100km on that stretch which is amazing!

the car is now on 132xxx, service done, installed an Injen CAI, using BP Ultimate and I'm getting close to 600kms per tank.so averaging about 9.1L/100kms
pretty happy with that.

Just elaborating on my above post. So i ended up with 6.9ltr/100km which im very impressed with...fuel light came on at 736km and ran it to 769km and refuelled. Amazing numbers i must say - definitely a far cry compared to my previous car ('99 Mitsubishi Magna) which ran between 9.5-10ltr/100km.

a 99 magna averaged 9.5-10? was it a v6? I had a V6 manual 97 magna, I used to average 13L/100kms but man that thing used to go pretty good

i had a 3.5 v6 Magna yeah they were great cars! i did have a few mods that may have helped the economy...i usually got 550-580km per tank most of the time
Dont forget too that most of my kms are 70% freeway, im sure around town its much worse.
